Florida Will Gain 95,000 Jobs From An Investment
In Clean Energy Technologies. According
to the Center for American Progress and the Political Economy Research
Institute, Florida
could see "a net increase of about $8.1 billion in investment revenue and
95,000 jobs based on its share of a total of $150 billion in clean-energy investments
annually across the country. This is even after assuming a reduction in fossil
fuel spending equivalent to the increase in clean energy investments. Adding
95,000 jobs to the Florida
labor market in 2008 would have brought the state's unemployment rate down to
5.2 percent from its actual 2008 level of 6.2 percent." [Center for American
Progress and the Political Economy Research Institute, Clean-Energy Investment Create Jobs In Florida, 6/17/09]

Every Single State

Progress, investments in clean energy projects would create 1.7 million
American jobs in every state in the country. [Center for American Progress, The Economic Benefits of Investing in Clean Energy,

By 2025, Cap-And-Trade Will Save Americans $95 Billion

By 2025, A Clean Energy Standard Would Save $95 Billion
On Energy & Gas Bills. According to the Center for American
Progress: "A national renewable electricity standard, a key piece of the
clean energy legislation currently before Congress, would save households and
businesses in every state billions of dollars in electricity and natural gas
bills... The numbers come from the Union of Concerned Scientists, who earlier
this year analyzed a renewable electricity standard that would aim to have 25 percent
of our electricity come from renewable sources by 2025. They found that this
standard would save families and businesses $95 billion in electricity and
natural gas bills through 2030 and spur new investments and hundreds of
thousands of new clean-energy jobs." [Center for American Progress, 5/19/09]
